چکیده

In Part I of this paper (Wilcox, Woodcock, Latto, John, Redmond, Parker, Rees, and Cobbold, 1973), the results of treating 114 male patients with acute uncomplicated gonorrhoea with 2 g. ampicillin and 1 g. probenecid at a single session in and near London were compared with those obtained under similar conditions with single doses of 1 2 m.u. aqueous procaine penicillin. This second paper provides a comparison with a similar series of 106 male patients treated in Wales during the same time period with the same dosage of ampicillin and probenecid.

Single oral dose of 1-5g. talampicillin in the treatment of gonorrhoea.

Talampicillin is thus the most potent ampicillin-like anti...
